We consider a four dimensional space-time symmetry which is a non trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra, different from supersymmetry and not contradicting {\sl a priori} the well-known no-go theorems. We investigate some field…
In the gauge theory of gravity based on the Poincare group (the semidirect product of the Lorentz group and the spacetime translations) the mass (energy-momentum) and the spin are treated on an equal footing as the sources of the…
Generators of the Poincar\'e group, for a free massive scalar field, are usually expressed in the momentum space. In this work we perform a transformation of these generators into the coordinate space. This (spatial)-position space is…

A new formalism for lattice gauge theory is developed that preserves Poincar\'e symmetry in a discrete universe. We define the $\mathbb{1}$-loop, a generalization of the Wilson loop that reformulates classical differential equations of…
Space-time symmetries are a crucial ingredient of any theoretical model in physics. Unlike internal symmetries, which may or may not be gauged and/or spontaneously broken, space-time symmetries do not admit any ambiguity: they are gauged by…

On the basis of the general principles of a gauge field theory the gauge theory for the Poincar\'{e}-Weyl group is constructed. It is shown that tetrads are not true gauge fields, but represent functions from true gauge fields: Lorentzian,…
We consider scalar-tensor theories and reconstruct their potential U(\Phi) and coupling F(\Phi) by demanding a background LCDM cosmology. In particular we impose a background cosmic history H(z) provided by the usual flat LCDM…
In this paper I shall consider various possible scalar-vector-tensor field theories which might be used to describe the Universe. After imposing numerous constraints of a physical and mathematical nature on the theories under consideration,…
We study warped flat geometries in three-dimensional topologically massive gravity. They are quotients of global warped flat spacetime, whose isometries are given by the 2-dimensional centrally extended Poincar\'e algebra. The latter can be…
We study a quantum mechanics with the usual postulates but in which the Heisenberg algebra of canonical commutation relations and the Poincare algebra are replaced by the Lie algebra of the homogeneous Lorentz group SO(5,1). It arises from…
We consider a relativistic charged particle in a background scalar field depending on both space and time. Poincar\'e, dilation and special conformal symmetries of the field generate conserved quantities in the charge motion, and we exploit…
The massive scalar field theory and the chiral Schwinger model are quantized on a Poincar\'e disk of radius $\rho$. The amplitudes are derived in terms of hypergeometric functions. The behavior at long distances and near the boundary of…
We first consider the Lagrangian formulation of general relativity for perturbations with respect to a background spacetime. We show that by combining Noether's method with Belinfante's "symmetrization'' procedure we obtain conserved…
We investigate scalar-tensor theories where matter couples to the scalar field via a kinetically dependent conformal coupling. These models can be seen as the low-energy description of invariant field theories under a global Abelian…
Using dynamical systems methods, we describe the evolution of a minimally coupled scalar field and a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe in the context of general relativity, which is relevant for inflation and late-time…

In standard quantum field theory, the one-particle states are classified by unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group, whereas the causal fields' classification employs the finite dimensional (non-unitary) representations of the…
